Honestly, punk bands doing political callouts at big events feels very on brand surprising venue, but not a surprising message at all.

Ugh why does GREEN DAY have to get POLITICAL. They’ve fallen off so hard since their extremely apolitical album AMERICAN IDIOT.

From a psychological standpoint, I don’t know how effective it is to appeal to the willing foot soldiers of a fascist regime to ditch their leaders. I do hope for individual and systemic reform, like I truly wish that one day all of the people who signed up for ICE will wake up and quit their jobs because they developed basic empathy over night, but to have even signed up for this job in the first place shows such a moral bankruptcy that I don’t know if these gestapo officers will ever regret their fascist allegiances even 10, 20 years later.
And if Billie’s using self-preservation as an appeal, then lol, these guys ain’t smart enough for that. If they were, they wouldn’t have joined ICE.
